This paper presents a solution to the (processor) group membership problem. The methodology followed in designing the algorithm is summarized by the option to optimize the perform...
We describe a novel scalable group membership algorithm designed for wide area networks WANs. Our membership service does not evolve from existing LAN-oriented membership servic...

Fault-tolerant distributed systems based on fieldbuses may benefit to a great extent from the availabilityof semantically rich communication services,such as those provided by g...
This paper presents a formal design for a novel group communication service targeted for WANs. The service provides Virtual Synchrony semantics. Such semantics facilitate the desi...
We address the problem of the impossibility of implementing synchronous fault-tolerant service specifications in asynchronous distributed systems. We introduce a method for weaken...
